&f)t Jf lag of iStneteen 2Cen

KT the west wind gently whispei,

Let the north wind wildly blow,
Let the icy blasts of failure,

Like the winter, come and go;
Still triumphant o'er disaster

Proudly floats our flag unfurled
Symbolizing peace and courage,

Truth and honor to the world.

.Makes no difference where it's carried:

It's the same in every clime
Never shall our ffaji he lowered

By the ceaseless roll of time.
All through life we'll all remember

The flood old school days when
We raised the black and gold on high

The flan of N'ineteen-Ten.

'Neath its folds we've fought together

For four long college years,
And when the class is torn asunder

Then will be the time for tears.
Hut in life's broad fields of battle

We can ne'er forget the men
Who, as comrades while in college,

Helped to raise the Hag of 'Ten.

When we have our class reunions,

While we're thinking of the past.
In the halls of dear old Clemson

We'll drink to the grand old class
Who by their efforts raised the beacon

Which is revered by all men:
That sign of steadfast virtue—

The old flag of Xinetcen-Ten.

W. McAlpine Albergotti
ORANGEBURG, S. C.

"Of their own virtues modest men are dumb."

"Mr" enlisted from Orangebur-g, where he obtained his
early education. His ambition, al first, was to make better
grades than any other boy in his class; but he had not been
here quite two years before he could be found in his room
preparing an "oyster" stew during study hours. "Me" is too
modest to speak of his honors, but his career at Clemson has
caused all who know him to praise him. Three years after
graduation, he can lie found at Orangeburg, wiring the sub-
way there.

Electrical. Corporal, Sergeant, First Lieutenant.

Woodward Allen

SPARTANBURG, S. <'.

"His profile was siiikiii'.', resistless and grand;
His manners were gentle, complying and bland.

"Woodward" is one of the natural leaders of his class,
having taken an active part in the various phases of college
life. However, hi' believes in sleep, and declares that chapel
and reveille were instituted solely to interfere with his
morning nap. Occasionally, he may lie found in his loom

studying very hard about well, anything except his lessons.
He attributes his non-studiousness to Alex, who is taking the

Civil-(ization) course. "Woodward's" future is hard to Ion-
tell; but. in all probability, he will be a botanist.

Frederick Rutledge Baker
McCLELLANVILLE, S. C.

"I'll bind myself I" that which once being right, will not be
less, right when I shrink from it."

"Vandy" received his name from his likeness in manner to
thai opulent individual of world renown. As a friend, one
could not desire a Wetter; as a companion, one could do far
worse. Old Vandy rules his battalion with an iron hand.
yet his popularity does not suffer. As a dramatic actor, he
can not lie equalled by local talent. His successful manage-
ment of the finances of the Chronicle shows him to he a shrewd.
business man. Vandy is so enamored at present, that he can
think only of her. For him the finger of Destiny points
toward Fame.

William Augustus Barnette

ROCK HILL

" Nature listening stood and wondered at the work herself had
made."

This is another York county hoy. and he too has " lieddy"
for a name. Reddy's early education was obtained at the
Rock Hill High School. He spent two years at the Catawba
Military Academy, where he received training for the military
life at Clemson. Entering Clemson in liKHi, he has since
been a loyal member of the class of " 1910. " By a personality
which is attractive and good natured, Barnette has won his
way with ease into the companionship and confidence of all
who have enjoyed his acquaintance. Besides being a diligent
student, he has been alive to other college activities, being a
member of the Y. M. C. A., the Literary Society, and the
track team. After graduating at Clemson, Barnette will take
a university course, and then settle down as a veterinarian.

Willie Dickson Barnett
WESTMINSTER, S. C.

"His mild expression spoke a mind

In duty firm, composed, resigned."

"W. D." lolled down the mountain from Westminster,
and landed at Clemson in September, 1905; from that time
he lia~ kepi hi-- eve focused upon a "sheepskin." In Junior,
while climbing the ladder of military fame, he held the reins
tight; hut his zenith having been reached in his captaincy.
he slackened up a bit. Notwithstanding all his military
tactics, he was unable to control his section in Senior — he
being the sole member. "YV. D.'s" future is somewhat
uncertain, hut he will he either president of the Westminster
rut ton mill en- instructor in German.

Paul Allen Baxley

BLACKVILLK. S. C.

"Time. I dai e thee to discover
Such a youth and such a lovei

"Paul" or ".luanita" is a quiet little fellow, whose only
fault is "he aint no Hilt hardly." It is said that Paul was
once in love, hut we have everj reason to doubt it. In
spite of all this, he is \ cry fond of reading love stories. "Paul's"
intellectual ability is never doubted, high marks being his
hobby. We predict for him success as proprietor of the
Blackville Dairy Farm.

Aaron Joseph Becker
SPARTANBURG, S. ( .

"When I sai'1 thai I'l die a bachelor, I never dreamed ['d live to be
married."

"Huron" or "Beck" does as he pleases and takes the -
confinements, lie is far too amiable to allow life to become
monotonous, for his favorite pastime is "yelling in the
mess hall," and he devoted all meal times in Junior to this
avocation. While in the section, he enjoys himself by ruffling
"Buck's" temper; and declaring his hatred of married life.
Although not a studious lad, he has been a class leader.
For "Beck," there is safety in predicting a bright and suc-
cessful future as a distinguished chemist, only to be marred
by matrimony.

Herbert Festos Bethea

LATTA, S. ('.

"All I want is a chance.-1

"Puss" gave vent to his first wail in the burg of Latta,
many years ago. Upon reaching the age of discretion, be
decided to come to Clemson with the class of '10. As college
life was so different from that down on the farm, he took the
line of least resistance and pursued straight Agriculture, l.e
is never happier than when Maris pays for olives or buys
tobacco. The only military aspirations I ver held van-
ished when his roommate got a corpora ley. The " Woo \\ oo "
wishes everyone to know that "Bethea is in that." When
asked of bis future, he replies. "Latta is good enough for
Bethea."

Louis Crum Boone

ROWESVILLE, S. C.

"As to the manner born."

"Daniel" is not closely related to the great pioneer, but
seems to come of royal lineage. His graceful maimer, his
courtly bow, and his valiant heart win friends among both
ladies and gentlemen. "Daniel" enjoys his college life.
especially becoming interested in the military aspirations of
all rats. A hard student, an excellent companion, and a good
classmate, Daniel has won the respect, if not friendship, of the
whole class, and admiration of the college. May his future
continue with the high ideals he now holds.

"When I ope' my mouth, let no (Jog bark."

th,

men are known by their works, how are we to know
Bolivar '. Don't think him always idle, though, for in some

things, he is a heavy man — first comes football. Any ti

you can't find him on the field, come down into barracks,
and you will find him working out some new play. And
the ladies! Well, you are right there; that is his long suit He
carries trumps in that game, and can play from his sleeve all
day long. Bolivar has many good traits; he is a big, good-
natured heart smasher, and is always on time at reveille!

"Toots" as he is generally called, needs no introduction
into the athletic world; but, for fear there are some who do
not know of his ingenuity as an electrician, this account is
written. On account of his genial smile and jolly disposition,
"Toots" has a host of friends. There have arisen numerous
obstacles in his pathway; but, inspiteof all. he will graduate
in the noble class of '](). "Toots" will probably be in charge
of the power house al Sandover. a young flourishing city in

INDIANTOWN, S. C.

"Even small things have their value."

"Brock" is a small but valuable member of our class.
Originally, lie belonged to the class preceding, hut on account
of bad health, he was obliged to join the class of '111. "Brock "
is of a very retiring disposition, hut still is fairly well known
Ilis loyalty to the Literary Society and his professed ambition
to become a veterinarian, are two of his strongest features.
"Brock" will in all probability live a quiet but useful life
down on the farm.

FAIRFAX, S. C.

"If I owned the whole world, then
I'd plant it in tobacco."

"Surge," or "Buck," after finishing the Fairfax school,
came to Clemson with the sole intention of studying mineral-
ogy. No military for him! As a result of his research work
(lining his Junior year. Buck discovered a combustible, soft
flesh-colored substance entirely unknown to science. After
consulting all chemists and mineralogists, it was decided to
classify and name this mineral "Bucknerite." "Buck"
has been a diligent student, a conscientious young man, and
a pleasant classmate. Enough for his future can he gotten
from above.

"Eternal smiles his emptiness betray."

"(lus " was born out in the « ilds of Arkansas; but, scum after
his birth, his parents returned to their Dative State, and hap-
pened to bring little "Gussie" with them. Since then, he
has lived at Whitmire, in the northeast corner of Newberry
county. His career in college ha-- been a success, interrupted
only by an April fool vacation, (lus has stood well in his
classes, but is too fond of boat rides. We hope some day to
see him field Secretary of the Chicago Home Industrial Art
School.

Norman Ernest Byrd

BRANCH V1LLE, S. C.

"Le1 ;ill the world say, 'Here's a man.'"

" Norman, " "Byrdie, '"Byrd" — he answers equally well
for any of the above names — first came to Clemson in the Fall
of (Hi. His arrival created quite a "stir" in the college, and
the current has not settled yet. Byrd first distinguished
himself by rooming on "Pike." Then he went in for athletics,
where he has made himself famous as the only original human
aeroplane in existence. lie makes the hundred yards in

John Newton Carothers
ROCK HILL, S. C.

"Still and quiet, but deeper than you think."

John is always on time with the goods. Tho quiet and
unobtrusive, he has opinions of his own, and speaks at the
proper time. He is a student of the first class, and in the
true sense of the word. He never aspired for military glory,
but has ever declared undying love to his musket. Although
from Kock Hill, he seldom speaks of Winthrop — it is not
known what he writes. As a chemist, John will gain the
respect of the world.

Francis Worthington Chapman
NEWBERRY, S. C.

•"Tis fate that flings the dice; and as one flings,
i if kings makes peasants, and of peasants kings."

"Little Francis" first discovered America at the historic
town of Newberry. His early education was received in the
Newberry public schools and at Newberry College, from which
place he graduated in '05 with the degree of B. A. Hoping
to attract attention in the electrical world, he entered the
Junior class at Clemson, September, '08. Since coming to
Clemson, he has won quite a reputation as a student. His
chief faults are buying experience and smashing heart--.

"I lei wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of

"I). B." is like Alexander the Great. Oh, no! not a great
fighter, for he never was even a corporal, but he is crying
for worlds to conquer in the name of Dan Cupid. His love
letters "cover Dixie like the dew." and at present he is push-
ing his conquest into Arkansas. " I). B." has the great
distinction of being able to <z«-t permits when he wants them.
This accounts for his being such a shining light in the young
social set at Calhoun.

Hugh Robert Clinkscales
BLYTHEWOOD, S. C.

"For .some who have his secret nature guessed,
Have found him not too much a priest.''

"Clink" is a specimen of Fairfield; therefore history and
political economy come easy to him. Much to his chagrin,
his military aspirations were blighted in Junior. It was
found that the atmosphere of Senior privatism was more
congenial to his delicate constitution. I lis qualities as a
debater arc unlimited, he having met and defeated the re-
nowned and venerable Bob Nickles. His two chief faults
were: first, coming to section formation eating the last bite;
second, after studying a "Daddy" lesson for three hours,
invariably asking every member of the section where the
lesson began. Diligence will make his success in life certain.

ORANGEBURG, S. C.

"Plant thou thy feet, as on a stair,
And mount right up and on."

"Bill" is capable of doing anything he desires. His les-
sons do not bore him very greatly, and he. too. has a jolly time
at school. Wherever a little nerve is needed, "Bill" is always
sent for. Before the footlights, or on the side lines, he always
stars. He had his copy of the Denmark Times discontinued
on account of the poor editorials; at least that's what we are
told. But seriously, Bill has had a rather enviable college
career, and his merry voice will be missed when we have sepa-
rated. His future is in his own hands, to lie a- great as he
desires.

TATUM, s. c.

Yet, in his worst pursuits, I ween,
Pure hopes of high intent.

The subject of this -ketch is not half so innocent as he looks.
Everybody says Knox is going to be a rich man; and. if it
takes a married man to save the coin, Knox is going to be
second only to Rockefeller. He has given close attention to
the study of electricity. Oh. no! that is not all; he is a recog-
nized authority on the culture of strawberries, and ha- been
known to cany on scientific investigation in the Horticultu-
ral grounds at 2 A. M. By his kind and unobtrusive disposi-
tion. Knox ha- won many friends during Ins college clays,

High School. Having nothing else to do and nowhere else
to go, he came to Clemson, September, '06. Since coming
here, "Percy" has made many friends among the faculty,
his chief friends being the Professors of English and Military
Science. "S. E." has always been interested in the affairs of
the college, and is a veritable information bureau. Next to
the Pendleton Guards, he is loyal to the Palmetto Society,

"Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil
O'er books consumed the midnight oil?"

This lad from Lake City entered the Preparatory Class in
'05. He is serving five years, instead of seven years as Jacob
the brother of Esau did, for his intended. He says nothing is
worth while that is easy to get. There have been no discord-
ant notes in his career, as his record shows, lie spends his
vacant hours in the classroom, which accounts for the l's
he makes on steam laboratory. After getting married,

"Good nature is the most Godlike commendation of a man."

"Freddie's" early education was received at Winthrop.
in the model school, and at the Catawba Military Academy.
Realizing that he was called to >ret higher things in life.
Freddie came to Clemson. and again joined in the pursuit of
knowledge. Dining his Freshman year, he failed to cultivate
the acquaintance of the head of the mechanical department,
consequently electricity has been a very complex study for
him. His quiet, unobtrusive disposition and extremely good
nature have won for him many friends. Freddie will follow
his chosen profession, and eventually become a shining light
in the electrical world.

baseball or become county- veterinarian.

EASLEY, S. C.

He's good iii mathema ties,

Fine in the ai i ol music,

But a tune be cannot hum.

Responds equally well to "Vic" or "Victor Blue." Mili-
tary aspirants are glad that this lad connected himself with
the hand, for he possesses all the traits that go to make a
military genius. "Vic" is a recognized tennis player, hut
he is better known in college by a peculiar Indian whoop that
he sends forth when the adjutant reads an interesting notice.
He works mathematics for a pastime, and some day he will
teach this science at his Alma Mater, if he doesn't decide to
survey tunnels through the Blue Ridge Mountains near his

ABBEVILLE, S. C.

"And they, I ween, are happiest who defy

Sunshine or shadow, bright or cloudy sky "

"John" came to college to rest awhile before beginning
business for himself/ He is bright enough and lucky enough
to do as he pleases, and yet make excellent marks. Tho a
lieutenant in a company, he has the most privileged office
in school. While the dull fellows are poring over their books,
John is out in society. He is always in a good humor, and
ready for a good time. Matrimony was once John's chief
object; but, since the middle of the year, he has been having
visions of great construction work.

"No sense of ills to come has he,
No care beyond In-day."

"Froggy" hopped from Clarendon county to Clemson in '06.
lie received his early education at the various county schools,
and one year at the Manning Graded school, lie has been for
four years a faithful member of the chemistry section, greatly
aiding that body to uphold its high marks. Why "Froggj
didn't make varsity football is more than we can explain;
his "stickability " has never been doubted. Tis said he takes
German so Professor Doggett will help him in feminine affairs.
"Froggv " bids fair to become a tiller of the soil.

"He is a man, beloved, respected."

"Beef" sprang up at North, where he claims to have re-
ceived an early education: however, he was not satisfied
with his foundation, when he landed at Clemson, and proceed-
ed to take a course in the "pre])" class. He had so many
talents, it was a hard matter to decide whether he wanted
to he a great athlete, orator, or a leader in class-work. With
a little persuasion, he soon decided on a place on the grid-
iron, and took a course in Civil Engineering to pass away time.
lie expects to he the leading engineer at Mull Swamp soon.

"Few hearts like his with virtue warmed,
Few heads with knowledge so informed."

"Doctor" had this title bestowed upon him in his Junior
year when he won a Ph. I), degree. Besides being one of the
best disposed and most congenial of the hoys in college, lie has
also been a leading man since his early days under English
professors, where he won distinction in scholarship. Though
a quiet youth, he cannot refrain from "cracking jokes" ji t
Practical Agriculture, for it seems to revive old recollections.
Once he startled the class by announcing that alcohol was the
chief food of man. Being such a persistent man. as well as
one of ability, we can but predict boundless success as a
chemist.

"I dare do all that becomes a man; who dares do more is none."

"Mary" is one of those fellows who always looks at the
worst side first. However, he is an unceasing worker, carries
his point at any cost, and does his duty as he sees it. His
chief fault is speaking the truth at the wrong moment. He
often declares if there ever was a "Jonah." he's the man.
His character and high sense of honor has enabled him to go
through school respected, if not admired by all. As for
Mary's future — well. only a certain girl can tell, and we haven't

"II is not for your silver bright,
But for your winsome lady."

"So," like Abraham Lincoln, began his career of usefulness
at an early age. He was known to experiment with electricity
from his earliest childhood, and the ait has never left him as
"good" and "very good" are often found on his experiments
when they are returned by the professor. Some of these
days, "So" will be an engineer of note, but the crowning
event of his life was during the encampment at Columbia,
where he found his affinity. He is now enjoying the sun-
sliine of eternal bliss, and has rented a box at tin1 post office
to keep from imposing upon the cadet mail carriers. "So"
is an ardent member of the F. M. C. A., and when he cat-
chicken in barracks, he is always so polite that he never in-
quires where the chicken came from.

LANDRUM, S. C.

A mail nf cheerful yesterdays
And confident to-morrows.

This young man of charming manner and beaming counte-
nance entered Soph, in '07. and was early attracted by the
desire to earn military fame. Hence, he became a sergeanl
in his Junior year, where nobody could dispute his acting
thoroughly in accordance with all military rules and regulat ioj s.
Many were the privates who ceased to smile and raise their
hands in ranks, at reveille or while marching to breakfast.

It is rumored that Perry found a Queen in ( olumbia, during
the State Fair in that city, to whom he willingly gave all his
newly acquired possessions as well as his heart.

"Complacency and truth, and manly sweetness dwell ever on his
tongue and smooth his thoughts."

"Billy" was horn in Florida, but moved to the Palmetto
State in early youth. His chief characteristics are his nose
and fascinating manner. The only changeable things about
him seem to be his voice and his religion. He is a great
society man (literary, of course,) and is exceedingly proud of
his military achievements. His redeeming features are his
high sense of honor, his good nature, and his ability to get
work out of everybody — except himself. "Billy" will re-
turn to the farm eventually, marry, atid devote his time to
raising "Sweet Williams" and "Berkshires."

friends, and speaks no ill of his enemies. In the military line,
"Buster" is all that could be desired of an officer. In his

tor, but for some reason, "Buster" has not developed his
ability as a speaker. Before him lies a career of trust and
honor — we would not say fame.

to "Bob" or "Robert." Since he has performed oratorical
gymnastics of astounding eloquence and grace, he will attain

"Bob" has had a remarkably successful career, for he has
succeeded in bluffing all the faculty except the ever alert
professor of geology, For "Bob," is predicted a boundless
success as lawyer, and authority on "The Lien Law."

John Trantham Stephenson

COLUMBIA TO HAKTSVILLE, S. C.

"With never a care for the days to come, he jogs along."

"Steve-" is a fair representative of Kershaw, where he
received his early training a few years ago. He came to
Clemson in '06 hoping to become a great electrician. Several
times he has been tempted to leave the path he chase for a
more alluring cause, hut he is still in pursuit of his studies.
He is noted for never troubling trouble till trouble troubles
him. His character is as -teach as his motions, never suffer-
ing any inconvenience. "Steve" never shirks his duty, except
when room orderly. His future — well, get someone who
knows to tell you.

Stark Beilotte Sullivan
ANDERSON, S. C.

"Kind hearts are more than coronets."

"Stool," began his illustrious career in Anderson some
few years back. With all the educational advantages thai

city offers, "Stool" felt called to Clemson. To those who
know him. he is a jolly, true friend: to those who don't . he i- a
nice fellow. His military training was received in the Signal
Corps, hence his aspirations were abolished with thai worthy
organization. The future of the honorable "S. Ballew"
promises one of great magnitude.

Lucius Welborne Summers
SPRINGFIELD, S. C.

"II is better to be born lucky,
Than with great riches."

"Chunk" received his youthful training at Springfield;
maybe this accounts for his position in military affairs. How-
ever that may be, he has always been a leader of his class.
It is a mystery to his classmates how he can do so little
studying, and then come out with excellent marks. His
manners are such that he easily makes friends, and, maybe, he
has made friends with the professors. Under his guidance, the
"cowboy" section has established an enviable reputation.
"Chunk' has always made a hit with the ladies; but, if mat-
rimony doesn't prevent, he will finish a university course in
his chosen profession.

"Know thy work and do it."

"Box'' is small, quiet; yet an active member of the Senior
Class. Coming here in '05, it was though! necessary to put
"Box" in the Signal Corps. Here he remained till that or-
ganization disbanded, winning military fame for himself.
You can find him any time of day or night in his room study-
ing or leading scientific literature. "Box" is bound to make
his mark in the world.

SUMMERVILLE, S. C.

"Oh! blessed with temper whose unclouded ray
Will make tomorrow as cheerful as to-day. "

"Eddie," tho rather small, is still a prominent figure in
school. His business ability asserted itself in the store which
he had. He is loved and respected, especially by those who
have not yet paid up. His genial smile and jovial nature
have made him friends where others would have failed. Had
he started athletics upon entering school, he would doubtless
be wearing the block "0," as his work on scrub football was
excellent. Do not for a moment forget Eddie was one of the
loyal Pendleton guards. From present indications. Eddie
will return home and enlighten the town as to successful
business methods.

Charles Pinckney Townsend

BENXETTSVILLE. S. C.

"Thou hast been called, O Sleep! the friend of woe;
But 'tis the happy that have called thee so."

"Judge" obtained his title in quite an unusual manner.
While he was a rat, he was asked his name, and made the
following sage-like remark, "Why, I'm Judge Townsend's
boy!"

"Judge" has made quite a reputation for himself among
his classmates; and, putting all joking aside, we expect to
see "Judge" at the top of the ladder someday, an example to
Clemson men and a pride of '10. However, we arc compelled
to admit that "Judge" is a fairly good hand at making short
circuits. He doesn't make a great many, but those that he
has made, have never been surpassed in the annals of Clemson
College.

"Charlie" is another of the brilliant civil engineers to
graduate this year. His career is at presenl likely to be broken
for the stage, be having won great renown as "Harris" in the
Dramatic Club. Of a good, humorous nature, attending to
his own affairs, avoiding the ladies, with an occasional argu-
ment with professors, Charlie has gone through college with all
the friends he needs. The merry twinkle of his black eyes,
speaks often when his tongue does not.

"Henry" or "Hunt" is by birth a Georgian; but, in his
childhood, he emigrated to South Carolina, where he has ever
been happy and contented. " Kunt " has won quite a reputa-
tion in college, both as a writer and as an impersonator. The
first distinction was won by his excellent contributions to the
"Chronicle," and the second by his successful take off of
Prof. S. B. Earle at the (dee Club entertainment. Henry
will no doubt devote his time to editing a magazine or to
civil engineering in a calm country where the wind won't
blow the lire out of his pipe.

^tgtorp of tfje Class of 1910

"I i- distance lends enchantmenl to the view."

H( )()K I \( ; a I Senior < lass from the viewpoint of a Freshman, it seemed
to be shrouded in some mystic halo, through which we feared we
>h<uil(] never be able to penetrate. But, as we approached the un-
known border, the mists have gradually cleared away, leaving only the bare
fact- and responsibilities standing out in clear relief. Then the questions
arise, "Have these responsibilities been mel a- they should have been?" "Has
everyone dune his \ci\ best?" To answer these questions, it is necessary for
ii- to turn hack four years, and follow our steady inarch onward over the
rough and rugged way. ()n beginning the ascent, two hundred and two green
but determined Freshmen stood at the bottom of the mountain, gazing intently
upon the crags and jagged peaks thai would be theirs to surmount. Bowever,
our reverie was interrupted by the paddle of a Sophomore, who cried, "Wiry
stand ye here idle?" Thus the ascent began. At the very first, we were
taught hew insignificant we were. What a contrasl to our former opinions!
The wild, unruly "Rat" was put in the same category with the shy and timid
"Mouse" — that of a lowly Freshman. Notwithstanding all this, we took an
active pari in the various activities id' the college. Finally Commencement
came, followed by a happy vacation.

Sophomore followed in rapid succession. When the mil was called, one
hundred and fifty-eighl of our foimer Dumber answered "here." The others
had found the jagged peaks too steep to ascend, consequently they fell hack a
year or gave up entirely. To return as a Sophomore, was the height of eveiy-
one's ambition, hut. in the preceding year, we had accumulated enough knowl-
edge to know that a Sophomore's wisdom is "small of statute:" therefore we

were freed from passing through thai period of rinding ourselves out. Soon,
our men began to show their athletic ability; we had several men on the
football field, on the baseball nine, and on the (rack team. This year marked
the beginning of the career of several men who were to break all of Clemson's
former records in the athletic line. Alas! the fateful day came — the calamity
of the April escapade. I I ere, as with other (lasses, our number was divided; some
remained loyal to the college; others joined in with the "Pendleton Guards."
When the smoke cleared away, il was found thai eighty-five members of our
class weie missing. Times looked gloomy indeed, but the few that remained
did good work, and kept the class together. Il was at this time that the
Honor System was adopted by all classes. The Honor System had existed in
the Junior and Senior ('lasses for some time, but had never been adopted by
the Sophomore ('lass. This was the first clas> to take lip the matter, and
much of the success was due to the efforts of the class. Now came the second
rest with its numerous pleasures.

The gloomy prospects had brightened considerably at the beginning of
our Junior year. All the "Pendleton Guards," who -<> desired, were allowed
tci return to college. Many came with the determination In make their classes,

and d'd so. Also several g I men joined us from the preceding Junior Class.

Alter a careful count, an enrollment of eighty-six men was found. Not so
bad after all. The Juniors then began to realize that soon they would stand
at the head : theie would be none to look up to. During this year, many of the
men did line work on the athletic Held. The championship in football was
easily taken, as every other class was defeated by a large seme. The class
put out one of the best teams that has been here for several years. So much
the moie do we feel proud of it, when we remember that it wa- managed and
coached entirely by men from the class. Then followed the struggle on field's
Day. The other classes put up a good struggle, hut were entirely outclassed
by the fleet-footed Juniors. When the score was counted, it was found that the
Juniors were ahead. The cup was ours; another star had been added to our
ciown. Thus time rolled by, and again we found ourselves at another period
of rest.

The goal has been icached! So far tin victor] lias been ours. Bui we
did not pass through that mysterious transformation which was anticipated
in our earlier college course. bu1 only met face to face the duties and responsi-
bilities. However, to share these obligations, we could count upon seventy-six
men. As the year seventy-six of the eighteenth century and the year seventy-
six of the nineteenth century were two noted years in American history, we
hope the present seventy-six men will he actuated by the same spirit of courage

and energy — ever following the paths of right. Here we found onr long-looked
for Senior privileges to be only fantastic dreams. Our course has been run
under three commandants, and each succeeding one removed some of our
privileges, until the name is all that is left to us.

What changes Time hath wrought in his ceaseless course! About the
middle of our first year at college, each one thought that the happiest time
of his life would be when he had been handed his diploma at graduation day.
Is this true!' Not by any means. Friendships that have been formed during
the four years of close relationship hind us closer together than ties of steel.
Mere separation cannot sever these relations. As we have shared the fortunes
and misfortunes of each other through our college career, so -hall we he bound
with even -till stronger ties of sympathy in the future.

Ha\in^- traced the gradual transition thus far. we must leave the future
for the prophet. But, lor the Class of 1910, we hope that the line- may fall in
pleasant place-: and may lie who wateheth over all. he a light to brighten up
life's weary pathway.

2|t£torp of Junior Clastf

HOOKING back over the past, we must realize that we are the outcome
of thai memorahle horde of two hundred and fifty Freshmen who
arrived al Clemson September 11, 1907. We were an energetic
bunch of youths from all parts of the grand old Commonwealth of Smith
Carolina, gathered together in the shade of the historic <>ld homestead of
John ('. Calhoun to please the dictates of ambition, to obtain inspiration that
will guide ns through life, and to seek knowledge along scientific lines.
Though we were many, we proved our deficiency — like the ancient Greeks and
Iniiians — in organization by bowing our heads in servitude to the domineering
and tyrannical upper classmen: thus we bore the burdens of Freshmen, and
served our superiors till we came to that bright date on the calendar which
appeared to us as a glittering diamond — dune. As well as filling ourselves
with the joys id' the pleasures id' vacation, we were jubilant over the fact that
the three short months id' summer would mark" our transit from the dormant
state of "rathood" to that of lordly Sophomores.

The pleasures, troubles, and other ordeals of summer absorbed a large
number of our classmen. The eighth of September, 1908, marked the period
at which one hundred and fort v-one wisest of all wise Sophomores returned to
college to assume the duties and responsibilities of caring for the needy and
homesick rats who joined us in our grand old borne. Aside from our duties
as guardians of those who proved to he so unfamiliar with their surroundings,
we made greal and deep researches into sciences, as expounded by such as
Galileo, Newton. Archimedes, Gay Lussac, Darwin and others, which have been
given to the world mainly to serve as blocks and stones in the pathway of the
all-wise Sophomores. A large portion of our summer vacation was taken up
in demonstrating the scientific principles acquired during the previous nine
months. The basis of the demonstrations consisted in drawing the bell cords
over "mike."

Finding that we did not possess the acceleration of mind that we had
duped ourselves into believing that we had attained while Sophomores, one

hundred and five of us returned on September s, 1909, to take up our work
as Juniors. Since September, several have fallen by the wayside; bul more
than four score are still striving onward and upward to attain the goal which
we set while Freshmen. Allowing due limit to the ravages of examinations
and plagues of time, we can safely count on having mure than the allotted
Dumber — three score and ten — to assume the garb of dignity becoming of
Seniors when we again gather together in the autumn of L910.

Rach \ear of our stay in college lias been marked by the great interest
taken and the work done by the Class of '11 mi the athletic held. We have
contributed largely in men to both 'varsity and scrub football, baseball and
track during the three years that we have been at Clemson. (Mm- men have
responded with equal activity and enthusiasm to class athletics. Though we

have ne\er won any championships, we have don |ually as well as any other

class in giving backbone to the college athletics. Kind leaders, just hear in
mind that we will vet attain something, for,

"I [e \\ li" Bghl - ;i ml runs away

Shall live to fighj another day :

I'.nt In' who i- in kit i le slain

Shall never rise to fight again."

Now. as we are on the verge of launching out upon another, the last, year
of our college life, let each and every one of us |>ull together for the upbuilding,
not of self, but of the ('lass of 191] ; and when the curtain of revelation is
drawn hack, may we all find our names inscribed around the highest pinnacle
of Fame's lair temple.

Higtorp of tfje Class of 1912

the beginning of our Freshman year, there were two hundred and
fifty-six boys who were traveling upon an unknown mad. where not
our physical abilities were In he tested, hut where our mental activities
were to he cultivated, and our minds broadened and deepened. In
over which many of the students who traveled before us had suc-
cessfully passed, there were results of had record. As a result of this fore-
warning, the majority of our class became aware of this fact, and tried to
"shun" all of these obstacles: while on the other hand, there were some who
seemingly forgot about the long branches of "Physics," "Math.," "Trig.," and
Chemistry" that had to he crossed on the road that leads through "Soph," and.
consequently, were left in deep water in the midst of one of these branches.

At the beginning id' the second year, there were one hundred and sixty-one
boys, some of whom wcw originally of Class ••"11." under the influence and
guidance of Mr. II. T. Prosser, our class president, whose colors had not
fallen while on the long and narrow path that leads to examination.

It has often been said that whenever a Freshman lays down his work in
dune to resume it in September as a Sophomore, he then thinks that he is
wiser than any member id' the other cla>ses : hut we can truly say. and are sure
there are other men in the Class "IV" that will hear us up in our statement,
that such is not the case with us. We, as Sophomores, desire to hold our
places as such for the time being, and no more. The cleft between where we
started in Fresh., and the goal beyond that we long to reach is still widening;
and in reality, the more we learn, the Less we seem to know, due to the recog-
nition of our ever increasing circles of thought and knowledge, which, the
farther we travel, seem to grow larger and more difficult to encompass.

We do not hesitate in saying that the present Sophomore (lass bids fair
to be one among the most notable in the history of the college. We all have
a great interest in the welfare of the college, and for this reason we are doing
everything in our power to achieve tins welfare, and to uplift Clemson College
even to a higher standing than it already has. We are trying to cultivate the
broad and generous sympathy which throbs in unison with all humanity,
feels for every man. and which is interested in everything that concerns the
common brotherhood of the entire corps.

Taking our (lass from an athletic standpoint, we arc playing an important
part, being represented on the "Varsity" football squad by two of our most
prominent men. Messrs. J. A. Hates and .1. 1-'. Ezell, who are making cham-
pionship names for Clemson, both at home and abroad. \'ot only is our class

well represented on the football field, bu1 our record is also fairly good on
the track team. We are looking forward fur "Soph" to put oul the leading
pitcher on the baseball squad this season, and by a little encouragement and
good coaching, we believe Mr. Eenry Rivers will surely fill our expectations.
But, after all. here's one who has tried faithfully to win a place on class
football team, and having failed there, has decided to run a race with ••Sam"
Ezell, tn see which can eat the most, when, lo! a certain voice was heard to
say. 'The prize is won by Mr. Jeffords, who distinguishes himself as 'still a
good-en.' As to the besl essayist, Mr. Pelham Knight, a greal writer and
Lover of literature (?), deserves no little mention, and in our search for a
man who could write the besl and mosl up-to-date ii"te of thank- fur a box
of candy from his besl girl, we found .Mr. Johnnie Wakefield to he far superior
to anyone else in the entire class ( ?).

The tact that we stand among the first in literary societies has been
proven l>\ Mr. II. W. Cromer, who ha- twice been appointed a speaker in the
Annual Celebration 'if the Palmetto Literary Society, and who, in his
Freshman year, won the declaimer's medal. We are taking a ureal interesl
in the developmenl of that phase in college, and hope to he even more successful
in the future than we have been in the past.

In our Freshman year, we were divided into Agricultural and Mechanical
sections only; hut when we took the high fly fur "Soph" there were numerous
divisions made; viz.. the Agricultural, Textile. Metallurgical, Civil, Electrical
and Mechanical sections. Those who were fund of the study of plants and
animal-, chose the agricultural course; while those who were ambitious to
become engineers, chose one of the other courses. Though we are divided
in these sections, apart from each other in our da-- room and laboratories,
nevertheless we are striving onward together lor places of larger promise and
greater usefulness.

At a meeting held at the beginning of the session, the following officers
were elected: Mr. II. I* . Prosser, president ; Mr. E. W. Cromer, vice-president ;
Mr. .1. F. Ezell, secretary ami treasurer; Mr. F. L. Ross, poet: Mr. <;. W.
Byars, historian ; ami Mr. .1. M. Workman, reporter to the "Tiger." A- presi-
dent of the daneing school. Mr. T. ( '. Redfern was chosen, with Mr. B. F.
Owens, v ice pie-nletit ami Mr. A. P. Fant, secretary and treasurer.

Up to the present, our college work has been veiv satisfactory. A smaller
percentage of the boys failed on the first term examinations than in any of
the preceding Sophomore classes, which is a record we are proud of: ami we
only trust that it will he maintained until the roll call of 1912. Yet. the more

we -ee of the Soph, moie wolf:, the n ■ we icalize that the path before us is

far from easy; hut we temember, too. that "success is the reward of the
greatesl service," and. remembering this, we are to gel down to study ami
prepare for "white cards" to Junior.

Fellows, stand up for your class in every way, ami let us make the Class
of 1912 one to he proud of; ami permit me to say, in conclusion, that never
were any higher and more gratifying prospects spread before us; and we trusi
that tin- vi-ta shall not he clouded, even with a transient shade.

JMstorp of tfje Clas# of 1913

j^^!\ HE Freshman Class of 1913 consists of eighty-one Agricultural and
t j one hundred and twelve Mechanicals. Although this is not the

^^^^r largest class thai has entered the college, it is of a good size, and
shows prospects of being one of the best. The officers, which were chosen by the
class, are: J. T. Cochran, of Clemson, president; •'. EL Kangeter, of Charles-
ton, vice-president : and M.. Coles, of Columbia, secretary and treasurer. Under
the leadership of these strong men. the class oughl to make good.

Our class showed up well on the football field. We had two men on
'Varsity and four on the Scrubs. We also were not lacking in track or baseball.

Our clas> turned out the first "Rat" team in the history of the college.
The class team, although it was the lightest team out. made up in speed and
spirit for what it lacked in weight. We played three games. The first was
with the "Preps.," which we won easily, with a score of 1<) to <>. The second,
with the Juniors, was a much harder game and, although the score was 0 to <>.
our goal was never in danger, while the hall was most of the time in their
territory. The last and the hardest game, was with the "Sophs." who had
al-o tied with the Juniors. This game was called in the middle id' the second
half because of an injury received by one of our men. and the game ended
without either side scoring.

Our college work has been very good so far, and we will make every effort
to continue it so. Although L913 is a long way off, we all have hopes of
receiving diplomas when Commencement day of that year comes.

There is no doubt id' there being a number of great men among us, who,
some day will astonish the world with their orations, writings and engineering
feats. If we show the same spirit in helping our class. State, and country, as
we do in athletics, there will he no doubt of the results.

preparatory Claste ^t^torp

Hh'oM many scattered parts of our State, we, the Class of l'-'l I. came
speeding towards Clemsor College on September 7, L909. We can-
qoI say thai our trip to Clemson was one of ease and unlooked For
pleasures. Far differenl from that. Many were the talcs we had heard of the
terrible persecution of tats among the halls of learning that we were rapidly
approaching. As we Qeared the college, these talcs assumed vivid proportions,
and we were certain thai we were soon to encounter experiences thai only the
stout-hearted and Fearless could survive. Nevertheless, we allowed ourselves
to be carried on and on, until finally someone came through the cats an-
nouncing our arrival at Calhoun. Some of the old boys, who had comic pari of
the way with us on the train, favored us by allowing us to cany their baggage
over tn the barracks. Thus burdened, we came approaching the buildings
which loomed up to the proportions of huge prisons.

After our arrival at the barracks, we were told by our Friends, who had
escorted us From the station, that when we carried their trunks up, we could
go. We wete delighted at the thought that this was to be all we should be
required to do. The day was intensely hot, but we did as we had been told.
After we had finished our task and had stalled to walk away, we were en-
countered by some more of the old boys, who told us that we could also carrv

up their luggage. This distasteful work lasted for about three days, with more
"merriment" at night, such as turning, rat meetings, old-time singings, cake-
walks, etc., which afforded us as much anxiety and uneasiness as it afforded
the old hoys amusement.

Of course, under such conditions, it was natural for us to wish for the
old homestead. Everything at Clemson seemed so unreal and unnatural. We
spent our time exploring the spacious buildings and grounds, and avoiding the
old boys at day and living in constant tenor of them at night. We also
missed the old reliable home fare, and the technical terms of the mess hall
kept us in a guessing mood for several days.

Soon the mysteries of examinations, schedules, etc., were all unraveled,
and we got down steadily to work. Everything was getting quieter, and we
could now almost go at will in and out of the barracks. And now the real
pleasure of college life was dawning upon us, if we may call it pleasure in our
rat year, watching football scrimmages and other outdoor sports, and also
indoor sports as crap-shooting, raffling, set-back, etc.

And that fair trip. Did we have our time? dust ask us. Those
Columbia people all thought we were Sophs and Juniors, and some of those
girls said we were as genteel as Seniors. 1 don't know what they meant by
that, and was afraid to ask a Senior.

Al'tei' the fair, lime fairly Hew by, and soon Christmas exams, were on
us. Well, most of us pulled through all right. Hut I really think we did not
do these exams, justice, as we weie so Idled with delight at the thought of
going home so soon.

And the trip home. We weie the heroes of our homes and the pride of
our towns. Everybody said our uniforms made us look like real soldiers.

After ( hi istmas, class foot ha II came on. We organized a team, and entered
the contest for the trophy cup. This was our liist step in taking a part in the
college activities. Willi .1. I*. Verner as captain and A. II. Lachiootte as
manager, we soon went to work in earnest. We played creditable hall, con-
sidering the fact that almost everyone of us was inexperienced. We played
the Fieshmen first, hut they heat us by the score of In to 0. We played the
Sophs next, who also won by the same seme. In the last pait of the Soph
game, Verner met with the serious misfortune of getting his collar-hone
broken. The team was disbanded after this game, as it was hardly worth
while to continue playing. We are proud of our team, though, and of our
class also. We have aboul eighty-five enrolled, and everyone expects to he a
Freshman next Fall. Whether we he Freshmen or not. it is a known fact that
we will not he rats.

Col. Hardin: "Well, Mr. Allen, how are you getting along with your

Mr. Allen: "All right, sir!"

Col. Hardin: "I asked Mr. Warner sometime ago how he was getting
along, and all he did was to smile; and as I did not understand the signifi-
cance of a smile in Chemistry, I thought 1 would ask someone else. "

Dr. Brackett (to juniors): "If peanuts are worth five cent- per quart,
how much would you have to pay for a bushel of brick-bats?"

Prof. Henry (to Soph. Craig): "Mr. Craig, what are the group reagents

in order."

Mr. Craig: "Hydrogen Sulphide is the only one I remember, and I have
forgot the formula of it."

Dr. Hall (to Senior Pinckney, after breaking his sixth flask): "Mr.
Pinckney, you will have to remember that glass will break sometimes."

Senior Bethea (in ("hem. Lab.): "Dr., where can I find a bottle of

Soi'it. Tison (to Soph. Adams in Chemistry Laboratory, after trying to
light his Bunsen burner): "Why won't this lamp burn?"
Soph. Adams: "Because there is no oil in it."

Rat Merritt (after being directed to Dr. Brackett's office by an old
boy for the forge shop) : "Professor, what forge will I work at?"

Dr. Brackett: "Are you crazy; there is no forge in here. This is the
office of the Chemistry professor."

Senior Rogers, after working for ten minutes trying to get the stopper out
of a bottle of strong ammonia, for curiosity only, is nearly knocked down.
Dr. Brackett: "Mr. Rogers, I hope you are satisfied. "

Dr. Brackett, in explaining the principles of scientific oxidation to a
class of Juniors, hunts the laboratory over for a cigar one-quarter of an inch
long, and shows them how the cigar has burned in the presence of oxygen.

Senior Rogers, after emptying three bottles of acid and four of ammonia
in his solution, asks Senior Ininan whether the solution is acid or alkaline.

(c) Find true meridian.

Suppose a brick building has walls forty feet high, and the roof truss
supports a dead load of ten kips per panel. Find reactions for wind pressure
from inside when the owner discovers " Vandy" making love to his daughter.
Also calculate by the method of moments the compression stress on the gate
posts when aforesaid young man leaps the fence.

An impounding reservoir has a capacity of 150,000,000 gallons. The
dam is thirty feet high. Find how many frogs, snakes, and fishes will be
discovered in the settling basin. Abo state, by Prof. Calhoun's method
the age of the rock upon which the dam was founded.

A Howe truss has the following loads at each panel point: sixty-four

He leads the way to every clime
To mark a path for ship or train;

He works to-day and all the time;

He works when fair, he works in rain.

He goes far north where Peary goes;

His eastern pathway has no end;
He plants his rod in southern snows.

And to the west he leads all men;

He has no time to think of home
For "Forward!" is his battle cry;

He has no time to play or roam;
He works and lets all fun pass by.

But Engineers have their reward:

The work that they have done down here,
When they have gone to be with God,

Will always praise the Engineer.

FRANK TOWNES DARGAN, M. S.

Fueman University
Assistant Professor of Electricity

Prof. Dargan: "Mr. McCown, why do we have to use an alternating
current in performing this experiment?"

McCown: "Because a direct current would short circuit the motor.
and thus burn it out."

Prof. Dargan: "Mr. Chapman, why is it necessary to use brass in the
const ruction of a ballistic galvanometer?"

Chapm w (after considerable thought replied): " Brass is one of the very
besl Dim conductors of electricity."

SPECIMEN OF ELECTRICITY PROBLEMS

<)ne hundred and fifty, 20 C. I*. lamps and three D'Arsonval galvano-
meters are connected in series with a 250-volt direct current compound gener-
ator with commutating poles, at a distance of 18 miles, (a) If the weight
of money invested in the galvanometers is 25 lbs., what did it cost in Chinese
money? (h) If 9io of the line was submarine and the remainder run on
poles, how long will it take the stand-pipe to fill with silver nitrate?"

Prove by calculus that the maximum current is sent by a battery when
one terminal is connected to the ground and the other to Prof. Dargan's
wooden leg. Also calculate the amount of self-induction produced by the
latter.

Two small electrified bodies separated at a distance of 12.3 cms. in a
medium whose dielectric constant is 2.7 are found to attract each other with
force of 7.(> dynes, (a) Calculate in hours the time that it will take Prof.
Dargan to climb a telegraph pole. (6) Solve for the amount of affection
that the instructor of Junior Electricity has for "Red" Sims and "Father
Steve." Answer must be in gills.

A D'Arsonval galvanometer with aluminum pointer and hair spring
suspension, has a resistance of 4 ohms, and when its terminals are subjected
to a P. D. of 150 millivolts, the pointer is deflected 1 ■">() divisions on the scale.

Cotton is used so extensively throughout the world, that it influences
more people than any other one raw material. About seventy per cent, of
the world's supply is raised in our Southern States. The manufacture of

102

cotton in the South has not reached that proportion to which it may reason-
ably aspire. There are many problems in the finer details of manipulation
and in economic questions which our Southern mills have not yet faced.
A textile school lays special emphasis on all these points which cannot be
readily gotten in the mills. The opportunities the textile world offers are
almost unlimited. The business of cotton manufacture is more than simply
making yarns and cloth, so a textile school has to undertake a broader course
of instruction, and to cover a wider field of products.

The textile department was established here in 1898. The building is a
two-story brick structure, designed along the plan of a modern cotton mill.
The purpose of this department is to teach the art of cotton manufacture
to the young men of South Carolina, who wish to make the mill industry
their business, and to give practice in applying the different methods and
principles used. The equipment is composed of men am! improved machinery
and includes all that i> necessary for the manufacture of numerous textile
fabrics from the raw stock to the finished material. Each machine is analyzed
by an instructor, who explains its mechanism, it- necessity, ami it- peculiar
function in the process. The different subjects are: carding, spinning,
weaving, cloth analysis, cam drawing, designing, jacquard designing, organic
chemistry, dyeing, ami mill construction. Besides getting a thorough knowl-
edge of the textile industry, the student ha- a good general education leading
to the decree of H. S.

Prof. M. (lecturing Juniors after dance the night before): "Well!
young gentlemen, I understand you have had another one of those expensive
dances. I can't see to save my life how you can afford to spend seventeen and
a half cents (then state that you are unable to pay a forty dollar tuition),
for what you call a social function; but what 1 translate as a social disjunc-
tion is more than I can understand."

Prof. M.: Finishes telling a joke.

Cadet N.: "Professor, that joke is getting kind o'old; you told us that
fourteen times last week."

Prof. M. (apparently insulted): "Well, sir! Well, sir! You see that
sun out there?"

Cadet N.: " Yes, sir!"

Prof. M.: "It has been here all my life, and has not grown old yet."

While lecturing on saving, in Political Economy class. Prof. M. closed
one of his lectures with the following: "Save! save! young gentlemen, and

110

save all that you can get. But it all depends upon the woman you marry.
There is one man who always has my sympathy, and that is the one who
lives on a coon-skin salary, and marries a woman with seal-skin aspirations, or
more modern, one who on a wheelbarrow salary, marries a woman with
automobile aspirations. "

Prof. M.: "Mr. Pinckney, what is the co-operative school?"

Mr. 1'.: " Professor, I don't believe the book says Does it?"

Prof. M. : " Look here, young man. your book is not different from mine. "

Mr. P. (hurriedly): "Yes sir! yes sir! I remember now. It is a college
where all the faculty co-operates against the students."

Prof. M.: "Mr. [nman. what do you know about the ownership of
Capital?"

Seniob I.: "Nothing much. Professor; I do know, however, that students
never own any of it. "

Prof. M.: "Mr. Buckner, what do you understand by the term 'un-
earned increment of land?'"

Seniob B.: "Well sir. I understand it to mean the 'unearned in-
crement of land.'"

hematics is indeed an old subject, for we know thai "Jacob wrestled

angle," and Moses was hid in an arc Nevertheless we find many

problems arising each day of which we mighl consider a solution.

Si H.ll) ( tEOMETR'5
RLEM 1. Given a door '■'•• ft. wide, and a trunk 3 It. 1 in. by I It.
I I ft. high. How can t he trunk be taken iii the room?
E. — The answer generally given is. "Leave the trunk in the vacant
We hope tn gel a more scientific answer in the near future.

11?

Problem 2. — Given a room 7 ft. by 10 ft. with two beds 3 ft. by 6 ft.
two desks 4 ft. by 3 ft. ; one washstand 2 ft. by 3 ft. ; two trunks 2 ft. by 3 ft. ;
four chairs and one table. Required the number of layers of furniture and
the floor space left for four large feet.

Trigonometry: Plane and Spherical
The knowledge of this important branch of mathematics will help us
solve many interesting problems. By its use we can calculate the distance
between a boy and his sweetheart, but sometimes this distance is so small
that we have to get the aid of the calculus. From this study, we get some
of the principles of surveying. The subject of surveying offers some undue
advantages, such as a burning hot sun. a blinding light, and the inability
to see what you should. The work and result- in this course are always
original ; no class ever obtains the results of its predecessors.

Analytical Geometry or Conic Sections

Illustrations and practical applications of the work are offered through-
out the college.

Problems offered by this course:

1. — Given a bed 5 ft. 6 in. long and a cadet 6 ft, tall. Write the equation
and plot the curve of the boy.

2. — Write and draw the curve made by a "rat" when he irets over a
char, catching a bottom round.

3. — Find the focus of the points of contact of the boys when there
is a scrap going on behind barracks.

Calculus: Differential \\i> [ntegral

The great advantages of this course lie in the ability gained in dealing
with infinitely small quantities; such as, the amount of sugar in the coffee.
the space in chapel, the amount of cream in the butter, the knowledge of
some of the faculty, and the time to do what you please.

We have recently learned that it can be allied to physiology, for by its
means a student lias learned that his brain is infinitely small, and is now
studying how it shall take an increment.

Only one problem will be offered which is illustrative of others. Com-
pute the amount of space allowed to each boy in a room when there is a box
received from home.

By a silly little gism we might prove that, while we are studying mathe-
matics we are also studying logic

Logic is a thing that begins with "log."
Logarithm is a thing that begins with "log."
Therefore logic is a logarithm.
Therefore logic is mathematics.

The Calhoun Mansion stands majestically upon one of the numerous
hills of the campus; to most of us there seems a spirit of awe and admiration
surrounding it. Even many of the students who graduate never enter this
historic home of that illustrious statesman.

( >n the opposite page of this book, are some pictures of the nr ,-t interesting
relics. The piano, which seems so unusual to us, was one of the firsl broughi
to America. It is of English make, ha- only our pedal, and is very small
compared with the instruments of to-day. The legs are carved and veiy
slender: there is a great deal of brass trimming and a great amount of inlaying.
This belonged to Mrs. Calhoun when she was Floride Calhoun, though she
often played for her husband, who i- said to have been very fond of music.
On both sides are very small drawers, probably for music.

Another article which fills us with a reveience for the past, is a chair
which once belonged to George Washington. Of plain outline-, composed
entirely of wood and seemingly made for service, one is surprised to find ii
so comfortable.

The dining-room table is a piece of furniture that one rarely ever fees.
It is the table used for State occasion-. Th< mahogany is almosl a- pol -
to-day as it was years ago, when distinguished mi.n discussed great affairs
around this festal hoard. 1 1> width and length are remarkable.

The picture of the ship is of what i- -aid to he the model of the Constitu-
tion. From all that can lie found, there is no argumenl to refute that claim.
it shows remarkable patience of workmanship, and is in every way quite
remarkable.

The office of John C. Calhoun inn.-t have been the place where main id'
the greatesl thoughts of that state-man originated. The \er\ walls seem to
hear testimony to the greai man who worked there. There is a small desk
that for several decades has been unlocked hut by one man. There is a
combination lock, and no one knows exactly how it is opened. One man. a
mechanical engineer, has had patience to open it. The small door opens down
instead of to one side. The maps mi the wall hear date- of the early pari of
1800, and are very unlike ours of to-day.

There are many relics of Mr. Clemson's, hut space will not permit of
description. It is certainly worth anyone's time to \isit the home of South
Carolina's greatest statesman.

®f)e Capture of Columbia

"lli-\i. lii-\i. hi-yi! Tiger, Tiger, Tiger!"

No, the incontrovertible evidence of the evolution of an American
language which heads this document was not produced by any fanatical order
of side-line enthusiasts. Il was delivered to the sleepy ears of the misty-
crowned liini nine-, far from the scene of gridiron battles — almost a mile, in
fact; for il is about a mile from Bowman Field to the little smoky, huff-colored
depot at Calhoun. Along the winding road that connects the one with the
other, a grey-clad figure trudged, burdened with a sword that banged its
wearer's shanks: with a huge white blanket-roll that chafed the galled shoulder
that bore it: ami with a large square of cloth stretched on a frame ami
adorned with the snarling visage of a tawny monarch of the Bengal jungle.
As the standard-bearer emerged into the clearing around the station, the royal
salute, inscribed at the top of this page, floated out upon the circumambient
super-saturated atmosphere.

It is not the usual thing or the proper thing to find at Calhoun any
Clemson cadets, especially at half-pas! six in the morning; it is still more
unusual and improper to find a number sufficient to disturb the peace and
quid of that confirmed peaceful and quiet town: and to find said cadets
actually engaged in disturbing said peace and quiel is a circumstance unusual
and improper in the exti cine.

However, the morning of Tuesday, November the second, nineteen hun-
dred and nine, was a very unusual, if not improper, occasion. For seven
week- the corps of cadets had keen waiting for just that morning. For seven
weeks the prospects for a trip to the Fair had risen and fallen like the
stock" quotations of an aeroplane manufacturing plant. Little else was
discussed. If dinner was disappointing, Shorty was saving up for the Fair;

148

if drill was prolonged unnecessarily, the captain was training us for the
Fair: when the price of cotton soared, it was the signal for as to send frantic
requests for the price of a ticket to Columbia. The papers wen' searched in
vain for a headline telling that Winthrop would attend the Fair. The faculty,
the commandant, the president and the trustee- consumed valuable time in
conference before announcing a decision, while the decision in favor of the
project had been arrived at by the corps almost without discussion. What
little discussion there was took place after the announcement of the decision,
and was principally on the question of ways and means.

Ami so it happened that, on this unusual morning a small army of
decorators was actually engaged in tacking long streamers of old gold and
purple to the cars of a long train drawn upon the siding at Calhoun. The
placing in position id' the Tiger-head banner, completed the work of the
decorators.

Soon, from the depths of the fog, the Long, snaky column of much-
encumbered, grey-clad soldier boys crawled out into the early sunshine. Into
the waiting cars, tumbled officers, men. sabers, Kxag-Jorgensens, blanket-
rolls, suit cases, cook oullits. and joyous expectation-. After the last tanh
professor had scrambled aboard, the engineer began playing with the throttle.
The engine balked and snorted indignantly at the unwonted load, hut finally
yielded to persuasion, ami buckled resignedly to tin' task, gathering confidence
from the knowledge that on the pilot crouched the invincible Clemson Tiger.

With the incidents of the run from Calhoun to Columbia, we need nol
concern ourselves. Suffice it to say that our train pulled into the Fair Grounds
siding late enough to dispel any fears that we might have had of a dress
parade. The first object that attracted our attention, as the air-brakes ground
the wheels, was the familiar arrangement of gold bars on the sleeve of the
dark blue dress coat of our quartermaster-sergeant, who stood on the ground
and greeted us with a. grin that meant that he and "Sarge" had our tents
ready.

Five hundred dusty, tired, hungry boys detrained, poked their heads
through their white blanket-rolls, shouldered arms and set out toward the
brown peaks of our canvas city. 'The gaping crowd fell hack obligingly for
the first company, and nearly hacked into the second. Wider and wider opened
their eves, as company after company crossed the grounds. In a very short
time, tents had been assigned, and the delightful pleasure of stuffing a
mattress cover with dusty, mouldy, chaffy, haled oats straw was then
indulged in.

Southern l.'ailwax dust was then introduced to Columbia standpipe

149

l.Ml

water, with the result thai the next up-town car was boarded by an advance
guard of refreshed and fairly presentable cadets, bound for the nearest restau-
rant. Pine board tables and tin dishes are very nice things in their places,
hut they seldom contain porterhouse steaks and French-fried potatoes.

By and by the festoons of electric bulbs hung across Main Street blazed
into life and illuminated a gay scene. Boliday crowds thronged the pave-
ments, passed in and out of ice cream parlors and restaurants, and gathered
about the entrances of street shows and theatres. There was a uniform for
every ten feet of pavement : and by the side of every other uniform there was
a contented little upturned face. We had met Columbia, and she was ours.

The echoes of the twelfth stroke of the city hall clock were hopelessh
lost in the Congaree swamps when the last belated straggler reported hack
to the wearied corporal. On our downy couches of haled straw, we tried to
dream of the contented little upturned face-; but, when at last we fell into a
fitful, chilly, chaffy slumber, our disordered dreams were of threshing time;
we clung to the topmost point of a mountain of haled oats straw, which threat-
ened to topple over and hurl us to everlasting ruin. It is said that weariness
can snore upon flint, but no state, save the advanced stages of death or
alcoholic intoxication, can induce absolute relaxation on a bed of haled oats
straw. It must have been a Senior "Civil" who waved his hand comprehen-
sively over the hills and hollows of his stuffed mattress cover, and announced
oratorically, "Young gentlemen. I have before me a relief map of the Dark-
Corner. Five dollars reward to the man who first locates a moonshiner's
cabin!"

Wednesday morning was devoted, in pan. to the exploration of tin
captured city. Scouts in Clemson uniform promenaded the streets; they kept
the fizz-jerkers busy; they adorned the trolley cars; they strolled about the
Capitol green: they sputtered around town in motor cars; they inspected the
erstwhile Hotel Colonia; they took note- mi the machinery at the Olympia
Mills: they staked paltry sums mi their favorite pacers; they picked the
blue-ribbon cattle: they discussed the relative merits of barred Plymouth
Rocks and white Wyandottes; they swapped ideas with the gas engine men as
to carburetters and magnetos: they patted the choice bird dogs at the bench
-how: nor did they neglect the side-show men.

But most often our young soldier scouted alone until he crossed the
trail of his quarry. Then be lingered about the Clemson exhibit with his
prisoner — or captor — pointing out the products of whatever department he
happened to he a member of, putting in one word of exposition and two of
entreaty, to the amusement of bystanders, who often overheard a gentle

i:»l

152

rebuke, administered very sweetly: "Oh, hush your silly talk and tell me
what this shiny thing is for. And do they give you those beautiful apples
to cat?"

And then there was the game — the great, long-looked-for, much-adver-
tised, dusty, sweltering. Clemson-Carolina football game. Of course, there

were thousands of | pie. and acre- of pennants, and storms of cheering, and

the liberation of unlimited pandemonium from five hundred tin horns, operated
by the loyal breath of live hundred retainers of the royal Tiger. There were
glorious charges, and heautiful punts, and penalizing galore. But, in spile of
it all, tlie game was a disappointment. Win? Why. you little, sawed-off,

hammered-down ! But the game really was a disappointment. Think

of beating Carolina only G to 0!

Having seen everything, the corps resolved to be seen, ami to that end,
presented itself on dress parade. \'o space could he found long enough to
accommodate more than one battalion in line: the turnings were uncom-
fortably cramped ; also, there was the buzz of the crowd, the cries of the
barkers, the exhaust of many gas-engines, and the incessant roaring of the
most untamable animal in captivity. But Ethel thought the parade was
jii-t grand; mamma thought it was reall) pretty; dad said the\ were a line lot
of boys; and the colonel said J 1 1 « ■ \ made a \ei\ imposing appearance, sir.

But the climax was reserved for Saturday. For days there hail been
speeding toward Columbia, like a Kansas tornado, a smile that covered leagues
of territory and laid waste everything in its path. When it reached Columbia,
it expanded beyond all reasonable limit.-: ami when it arrived at the Fair
Ground.-, four panels of fence had to he removed to let it through. In the
tonneau of a big Packard, it -wept along, while a little one-pounder Hotchkiss
shattered the atmosphere with the national salute, and the field music woke
the echoes with the unwonted strain- of the President's march.

"Present arms!" Down between the lines of blue-coated youth the big
car buzzed. The smile had reached the limit of elasticity. Lucky it was
that it was soon given a chance to relax, for drawn up before the speaker's
stand were thousands of Loyal Americans, eager to do homage to their
nation's chief executive by making him stand bareheaded for thirty minutes
and shout at them.

'I 'he tempest id' oratory having -pent it- fury, President and escort then
proceeded to the State House, where the former went in to the feast, and the
latter remained without that he might eat in peace.

Newspaper paragraphers and cartoonists had long heen thrusting before
the American public, which likes to he fooled, supposedly exaggerated descrip-

153

K'l

tions and delineations of the unlimited capacity of the Presidential paunch;
hut no pen. no brush, can do justice to this most bottomless of caverns, if the
length of time required for the satisfaction of its cravings is any gauge of its
cubic contents. From noon, until the burnished sun. which Columbia people
think, rises in Shandon and sets in the Congaree, had sunk far down toward
the horizon, did we stand in our places, guarding the approaches to the
Capitol and tightening our belts until the holes were exhausted.

We had almost decided that it would be necessary for us to remain
over Sunday, when down the broad stairway, between two lines of sentinels at
present arms, came the President of Americans and czar of diners.
Of feasting sick, of pleasures ill.
But smiling, smiling, smiling still.

The greal day was ended. A uight of weary, dreary, sleepy travel was
before us. After nightfall, Main Street would again echo to the tramp of feci.
and the sound of gay laughter and the music of the street shows. The cafes ami
soda fountains would again he alive with merry throngs. Under the twinkling
lights, youth and beauty would still hold carnival. Bui nowhere in the surging
crowd would a Clemson uniform he visible; nowhere the rhythm of the soldier
step: nowhere the glint of dress chevrons and shoulder bars; only, as the night
breeze plays with the little stray locks of some fair, lonely head, the flutter
of a hit of old ^rold and purple ribbon.

politics b*. Jfootfaall

In the nation's capital, Washington town,

Taft and Teddy to a table sat down;

The talk was political, concerning our ships;

Their different locations were marked by some chips.

Taft was glad Teddy called and showed him his hand.

The three fairest ladies in Liberty's land.

But Teddy was there; he always does things,

And smashed Willie's hopes with two pairs of kings.

The game being ended and Taft being broke

About the new Football they commenced to joke.

Teddy held out for the rough rider plan

And said, "What's the odds! It's only one man;

While out in Dakotah when Cowboys can play

They'll kill twenty-five most any aid day;

And go right ahead with the same riding tricks

And make the day's score a full twenty-six:

And if a Lid cheeps or raises a kick,

Back, back, to the States they'll hustle him quick."

Taft, the sly 'possum said with a leer.

"That'll (jo out in Texas, but it's on the bum here.

You've played out your hand in the President's chair.

And since you have passed it, it's bare, Teddy Bear.

My REP is at stake as well as myself.

I've got to stand in with Eliot's bookshelf.

Keep an eyt on Joe Cannon and tab what he thinks,

And hold ii /) my cussin till out on the links.

1 must Taboo the horse race and queer the prize fight.

And wear my dark glasses when out the first night.

The Nations my playground, and it's the one best big bit.

That I can't back Football when it kills a Cadet.

Nor let it run smooth as a dish full of gravy.

When the same thing occurs at the school for the navy.

No; it's Baseball for me; I wish it were back.

I'll shore be deelighted to hear the bats whack.

Keep your eyes peeled on Wagner, he's onto hi* jib,

The only one in the business that near equals Cobb.

No, golf is a cinch and tennis ain't bad,

But Baseball's the Hot Stuff, for yours truly, lad.

So cut out the pig-skin and trot out your bat,

Put your sons in a Gym to skinning the cat.

Swimming will help them, so will a sprint,

One hundred in ten fiat looks swell in print.

Ten feet in a vault is pulling '<n< high,

Eleven foot at a jump is worthy a try.

And added to these, when the kid's oil' at college,

A glance in his books is conducive to know ledge.

So doping it out when football does kill.

Cut it out, Teddy darling, to please your Chum. Bill."

g>feetd) of tf)e ^easton of 1909

XX looking back on our football season of 1909, we all realize that
Clemson had a formidable eleven, and whereas we lost three of our
nine games, two of them were lost by exceedingly small scores, and
the third, with our old rival, "Tech," didn't look like defeat until fifteen
minutes of play had lapsed, when the weight and s|ieed of Techs' offense began
to tell on a team which was twelve pounds lighter to the man. However, the
Tigers drew first blood when Bissell sent a drop kick squarely between Tech's
goal posts. Five minutes later. Tech scored her first touchdown, and from
then to the end of the game it was not hard to see that Tech had the best
team. Coach Williams and his team deserve the highest praise, for with a
team which was green in the knowledge of the game, and one of the lightest
teams representing a Southern college this season, they turned out an eleven
which showed in each contest that they were well versed in the science of
the game, and fought with such determination that every Clemson man should
feel proud of his Alma Mater.

In the first game of the season, Clemson defeated the hoys from Barns-
ville in a fast practice game by the score of 26 to 0, showing indications of
good coaching and systematic training at that early date.

On October 2nd, the team journeyed to Blacksburg, \'a.. and in a hard-
fought game, blocked the offense of the sturdy Virginians at every stage of the
game, until Hughes, the fast quarterback, recovered a fumbled punt and ran
thirty yards for a touchdown, the final score being 6 to 0, of which we should
feel justly proud when we consider V. P. l.'s record for the past season.

On October 9th. Clemson met Davidson in Charlotte, and smashed her
championship aspirations by the score of 11 to ">.

'The game was one of the most sensational of the season, at times each
team showing brilliant form. Clemson demonstrated her offensive ability
when she received the kick-off, and by successive gains around end and through
the line, scored her liist touchdown without ever losing possession of the oval.

On October Kith. Clemson played the University of Alabama in Bir-
mingham, and incidentally, had traveled eighteen hundred miles in two
weeks Clemson gained a great deal more ground than Alabama, and it

162

Ifi.T

Looked as if victory was surely on our side, but Alabama's place kick from the
forty-nine-yard line turned the tide. However, Clemson rallied and was on
the march to victory, when time was called, with the ball on Alabama's ten-
yard line.

The strong naval team from Port Royal participated in the most inter-
esting and sensational game seen on the campus in several years — on October
23rd, when they met defeat at Clemson hands by a score of 19 to 0, which
hardly represents the comparative strength of the two teams. However, the
Tigers were too shifty for the big fellows, and got away with several long gains.

On November 4th, Clemson met her old rival in Columbia at the "State
Fair," and indeed it was a battle royal. Though the day was like mid-summer,
the game was fiercely contested from beginning to end, and time after time
Clemson carried the ball within striking distance of Carolina's goal, to loose
it on a penalty or be held for downs. It was only after a long and sensational
run, which placed the ball on the two-yard line, that Clemson scored her only
touchdown.

Six days later, the fast team from the University of Georgia was defeated
in Augusta by a score of 5 to 0, the Tigers, however, reserving a part of their
strength to administer a 1? to () defeat to the Citadel two days later in
Charleston.

In the last game of the season, Clemson lost to Georgia Tech in a hard-
fought battle by a score of 29 to 3, which by no means represented the com-
parative strength of the two teams, on Thanksgiving Day. several of the touch-
downs being extremely accidental, though we admit we were defeated fairly
and by a team which we believe was better than ours. However, we are living
in hopes of retrieving our lost laurels on next Thanksgiving Day in Atlanta,
and if hard work and determination count for victory, Clemson will have
it on turkey day.

1910 Champion* of Class Jfootball in 1909

^T» i i lie class football season opened, shortly after Christmas, it

| ■ looked as if there was little ehanee of the Junior team's getting a

\1/ look in at the score hoard.

In all the choosing and picking that is usually done by college men on
a number of football teams, it seemed that very few picked the Juniors for
champions There is really only one now. besides our own classmates, who
contended that the Juniors would win. This was Dr. Calhoun. He said
from the beginning that the Juniors would win by having so many swift
men. Our coaches. Robbs and White, realized very early that the success
of the team would depend on its speed.

Our first game of the season was played against the Preps., who were
doped to win by a large More, hut when the referee's whistle announced the
end of the game, the score stood. Juniors, 11 ; Preps, 0.

When the time for the Junior-Fresh game came around, things didn't
look so easy as the Prep game of the previous week. In the first half the
score stood (i to 0. It seemed that the Juniors just got their blood up by
the second half. In a short time the score was run up to 17. The final
results added another decisive victory to our list. Results. 17 to 0.

167

The Sophs were yet i<> show what they had in store for us. Everyone
IVIt thai this would be the hardest game of them all. since the Sophs had
defeated the Freshmen. It is always hard to judge very accurately the
strength of a football team. The first half of the game resulted in 5 to 0 in
favor of the Juniors. The second half was certainly haul fought. It was
impossible to stop the little Juniors, and when the game was called, the
M-oie was 22 fo i; in favor of the Juniors. This gave the Juniors a clear
title to the championship cup.

"Five years, going on six."

"Gracious me! How large for his age!"

•"Yes. Five years ago he was such a puny, sickly infant that even his
fond nurse hardly hoped he could live. Now he is so strong that half a dozen
of his biggest rivals, all older than he. and all pitching on him at once,
cannot put him down."

"Wonderful! What's the youngster's name?"

"The Clemson College Track Team."

The record of this infant prodigy is a measure of his increasing powers.

In live years Won Lost

Twelve Dual Meets 9 3

Two S. I. A. A. Meets 1st in one 2nd in other

The track season of 1909 was one of the most victorious ever experienced
by an athletic team at Clemson. In its consideration, three salient features
especially merit mention. There are hut three records: those for the high
jump, t he low hurdles and the mile run, now held by members of teams
before 1909, and these had narrow escapes.

It is an uncommon thing for a track team to contest on two successive
days. The work is so exhausting and demands so much of the individual
man that it is customary to allow a week to elapse between meets. Yet the
UK)'.) team won, and by large scores, on two successive days. On Friday
April 'I'.i, the University of Georgia was defeated on her own grounds by a
score of 24 1-2 to 83 1-2. The next day. in Atlanta, the Georgia School of
Technology fared even worse, getting the wrong end of a 28-to-80 score. In
these t wo meets, Clemson lost but two firsts. This is indicative of the strength
and endurance of the men, due in part to conscientious training.

These qualil ies were again in evidence when, after a hard 1 rip of 24 hours,
the [nter-Collegi ate track meet was won at Nashville. Theeight Clemson men
administered to the hosts of Vanderbill the firsl defeat of her history on her
own grounds. Although not the only colleges represented, the real contest
was between Vanderbilt and Clemson, the then undisputed champions of the
South. This greatest track event of the season was won by eight firsts, five

i:i

seconds and five thirds. One Southern record was tied and several more
were nearly shattered by the fast Clemson team.

As an appreciation of the L909 track team one might say, never has
Clemson spirit shown to better advantage in a Clemson team. Clean, honest,
hard-training sportsmen they are. every one. Never defeated until the tape
was broken or the last trial made. Hard fighters and trentlemen.

Jftelb Bap, 1909

The most interesting track meet of the season to be hold on home grounds
was the Field Day exercises. All the Classes fought hard in friendly rivalry
for victory and for the beautiful trophy cup offered by Prof. Calhoun. The
Class of HMO showed herself to be superior to her opponents in track, as she
had in class football in the early spring, and won by the margin of five points.
Class of 1910 made 44 points; Class of 1909, 39 points; while Kill, 1912 and
1913 followed in order named.

The individual winners were as follows:

100-Yard Dash .

JSaaetrall, 1909

If we review the past baseball teams that Clerfison has placed upon the
field and consider their records, we will probably find some that have been
stronger and have won more games than that of the year of 1909, but, perhaps,
never in the memory of a Clemson man has there been such a squad of men
banded together more determined for victory. As the days rolled on and the
time drew near for the season to open, the Tigers roared in their dens, and
awaited their antagonists.

Among the first prey that they pounced upon were the laddies from
Athens, (la. The University, as we all know, had defeated Clemson three
times during the season of 1908: but, as the Tigers marched on the field that
afternoon, there seemed to be something in their spirits that helped to a
victory. The (Jeorgia boys underestimated the strength of our team, and, as
a result, we scalped them. 2 to 0. The next day we again proved our strength
by defeating them to the tune of 10 to 3.

During the season, we won ten and lost twelve games; but, in the ones
lost, our men fought the battle to the last. Determined to win if possible,
they were on their toes throughout the whole game, and it goes without saying
that this is what it takes to make a winning baseball team.

With Cochran, our star rightfielder who batted .469 last season, and
Captain Kirby, the brilliant second baseman, back again, we hope to see
Clemson with such an aggregation in 1910 as can compete with any team
in the S. I. A. A., and at the end of the season we hope to see Clemson with the
pennant flying high over Bowman Field.

j^^^\ ENNIS lias never received the attention here that I lie -nine deserves.
I J However, the interest is rapidly growing, and ao doubt the college

^^^i^r will soon become as noted fur its tennis champions as for its track
team and other phases of athletics. The onh courts on the campus belong
1<> the Y. M. ( '. A., ami are under its supervision. The four courts of the
Association arc used constantly, but so many play that no cue gets to use
the courts often and regularly enough to become expert.

It is to be hoped that the Athletic Association will take the matter in
hand and make tennis as much of a college game as football. This will
probabh be done some time in the near future, as the Athletic Association has
shown its interest by defraying the expenses of two men at the State [nter-
collesriate meet.

184

We do not mean thai the Y. M. ('. A. should no! continue to liave tennis
courts, but that the Athletic Association will build more, thereby encouraging
one of the most popular games in college. To show the increased interest
all over the United States, tennis was recently voted the most popular phase
of athletic- in one of the largest institutions in the country.

Clemson stands among the champions of the South in other branches of
athletics ; whv not in tenuis?

aXFOKTl'XATELY. physical culture is not a part of the curriculum
at Clemson. but much interest lias been displayed in this branch
of athletics since nineteen hundred and rive, when a gymnasium hall
was built and furnished.

Dr. Calhoun is in charge of this work, and under his efficient coaching
much good has been accomplished. At different times, the teams have given
performances, which is evidence enough to prove the fact that a greater
work can be done in the future and the students themselves deriving the benefit.

There are many boys who do Qot seem to care for any other kind of
athletics, but take great interest in the gymnasium; and it is these boys that
we wish to help. I p to the present, our hall is entirely too small to accommo-
date the number that desire to take it.

There is no reason why Clemson should not become as distinguished for
her gymnasium teams as for her football and baseball teams. The success
which this sport has met with in the past leads us to believe that in the near
future we shall see erected on our campus, a large, well-equipped gymnasium,
containing a swimming pool.

This i> the second year thai our General Secretary lias been with us. He
has been a man thai lias ever labored hard and continually for our best
interests, fie has helped us by proving thai one can live a clean, consistent,
active and joyous < hristian life, by living such a life himself. He has mil
iuiIy encouraged us by his ( hristian influences, bul he has also tried to make
us increase our efforts so that we mighi count lor something in the world.
He is ever ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in trouble, and always
sympathizes with those who are striving lor the right.

About the middle of the college year our beloved secretary went to visit
hi- old home, and while there he decided to take unto himself a better-half.
We are all glad to welcome Mis. Provost as one of our friends and hope that
his greal work here will he increased by the assistance of her.

In future clays we cannot hut feel sure that we shall lock hack and realize
the great and lasting influence of this man.

In a short time we will step forth into the busy, strenuous, exciting life
of the world. As we conquer in our battles for right, we shall look back on our
college life to inquire into the associations there that have helped us must in
our preparation for life. Not a few will contribute t<> the Young Men's
Christian Association the honor of having given them the besl preparation
for the struggles of life. There was little work done in the Y. M. ('. A. at
Clemson prior to the year 1905, but in the tall of that year the Association
secured as its general secretary Mr. R. H. Legate, of the University of Arkansas,
ami from that time forward the work here has made powerful progress.

The mosl effective and far-reaching work has been done along the lines
of Bible study. Our Association has gained a national reputation in this
department, having enrolled about 150 out of 550 men. This fact shows thai
college men are realizing that knowledge of the Scriptures is essential. The
manner in which the Bible study work is conducted, fills a greal need at
this institution. There is a professor or a local minister leading cadi normal
group, thereby bringing the local ministers ami the Faculty closer to the boys
socially. Each Bible group has aboul ten men. headed or led by one of the
students himself. In this way the boys learn to form the dearesl of friendships.

The Sunday night meeting is perhaps one of the greatest features of the
Association. At these meetings addresses are made by the ver\ besl speakers
of the country on the chosen topics for college men. During the past session
such speakers as Dr. \V. D. Weatherford, Mr. ('. K. Ober, Professor D. \V.
Daniel and many others of similar reputation have addressed the Association.

The opportunity one lias to engage in practical Christian work is of
inestimable value. This habit not only creates in a person the love for
Christian work, hut it prepares him for Christian leadership in after life.
The college Y. M. C. A. presents itself to a boy during the formative period,
when he is prone to forget his simple childhood teachings, and reaches out for
deeper and more substantial reasons for Christian life. It i> the purpose of
the Y. M. C. A. to guide him through this dangerous period and to send
him forth into the world prepared to meet the temptations that besel all
men. with courage and strength to win for the right.

The Association at Clemson has gradually grown in all of its depart-
ments until, to-day, it stands forth as one of the strongest college Y. M. C. A.'s
of America. There are many improvements yet to he made before it can
teach its climax of success. Perhaps the greatest need is that id' an associa-
tion building. We, the graduating class of 1910, hope that the men into
whose hands we have placed the work, may he able to do much where we have
done little; we hope that they may have a large building where we have had
a small room; we hope that they may help many where we have helped few.

AN INTERRUPTED MEETING.

and

New Cadet Makes Grave Mistake
Suffers Serious Results.

Lasl Thursday evening, the faculty had
assembled in the President's office for their
usual weekly carousal. Each one was on
time — Done are ever late, for fear someone

will gel i e than his share of the "Old

Virginia Cheroots." The meeting was go-
ing in g 1 order, at leasl the smoking phase

of it was. when the fumes of the burnt up
breakage fee became so dense that a window
had t<> he raised, .lust at this time, a Rat,
who hail nut become accustomed to such
proceedings, spied the black volume of smoke
curling through the open window. Thinking
that the entile college building was one mass
nf unconquerable flames, he began to jump
up and down, yelling at the tup of his voice,
"Fire! Fire!" Seeing that no one was
coming to Ins assistance, the frightened boj
determined to he a lone hero: so he hastily
snatched off his coat ami rushed into the
supposed burning room. The smoke nearly
blinded him. hut the outline nf about fifty
reeumbenl figures met his horrified gaze.
What a task to remove fifty unconscious men
from the approaching flames! What a
chance to win a corporalcy! While these
terrifying thoughts were passing through his
mind, the rescuer seized the nearest sage, and
started fur the door; but this person was -nun

aroused from his reverie, and being ^\' con-
siderable size, he >nnii gained In- feel and
held the poor boy fast, saying: "Well, sir;
well. sir. this is no place for Smith Carolina
gentlemen in here. History has never re-
corded such an insolent act." "Throw him
mit the window," said another. "Try him
now," said -till another. The last sugges-
tion had scarcely been made before it was
put into execution. The innocent fellow
was put upon the stand, and he stated in a
\ei\ eloquent manner how he thought his
name would he heralded down through the
corridors of time as the greal saver nf his
college and so many live-, hut it all amounted
i" nothing. And now, as he follows "Old
Mike'" down the corn row, he can he heard
cheerilv singing, "(ice whiz, I'm so glad I'm
free."

RAT DISCOVERS HALLEYS COMET.

A1 1 o'clock on the morning of March 12th
Ral MxAYhorter wakes Biggins by yelling,
"The cornel done come." A- the} reach the
gangway, Higgins exclaims. "Sho' nuf,
Squirts," falls on his knee- and yells,
"Brother Robinson, pray, do pray." .lust
then the comet blows signal for Keowee, and
the headlighl of No. -">ii passes around the
curve.

Do as I say, and not as I do, but watch
the history making around you.

THE TIGER

EDITORIAL.

The boys have given over scrapping to the
faculty. There has been some ill feeling
among the different members of the faculty
for some time, bul the climax was reached
last Friday night at a social gathering, when
the trackman of the faculty called upon the
Superintendent of the Sunday School for
a "toast on the ladies." The honorable super-
intendent claimed that he had been insulted
by being asked to toast something he knew
absolutely nothing about. 'Filings went from
had to worse, and the following sides were
drawn: Principals, hacks and Hobo; sec-
onds. Rastus and do Jo; referees, Father and
Little doe: timekeepers, Crip ami Mick-
chick: surgeons, Daddy and Prep; water
carriers, Misery and King Sease; casualties,
one bald head, two broken ribs, four black
eyes: time, twenty-three minutes: audience,
entire faculty and corps of cadets.

It is useless to undertake to describe how
much the performance was enjoyed, and as
this one was a draw, the corps of cadets
unanimously voted another one for next Fri-
day night between Dickie and do do. Now.
in behalf of the corps of cadets, we wish to
thank the faculty for their much appreciated
entertainments.

We feel that it is our duty to compliment
our esteemed surgeon upon his successful
treatment during the recent epidemic of
measles. It might be of scientific interest to
know that there were five hundred and thir-
teen cadets with symptoms of measles so
evident that these had to he excused from all
dut\ lor two weeks, and yet so miraculous
was the treatment that only one case de-
veloped. It is of interest to the medical
world to know that three hundred and twelve
of these patients were so far affected that
their temperature registered L8? F by the
lire. Yet each one of them still lives! The
cadets sent Dock a vote of thanks for excus-
ing them so Ioiil:'.

SENIOR CLASS

Quite a commotion was created in barracks
last Wednesday night, when it was learned
that our esteemed classmate, Mr. A. A. Mc-
Keown. had not spoken for nine whole sec-
onds. His ever alert roommate realized that
something was seriously wrong, and imme-
diately spread the alarm. However, Mr. Mc-
Keown soon gained his fluency of speech —
the cause of this protracted silence being his
grief over the death of one of his beagle
hounds.

Our captain and adjutant. Mi1. Pegues,
having "burnt"" every cadet here seven times.
then proceeded to ignite himself last Thurs-
day, and. as a result, he is now wearing his
right arm in a sling.

After all our worry and trouble, the un-
expected (?) has happened. In a recent
meeting with the Senior (Mass, Captain
Stokes officially announced that the Seniors
would have unlimited privileges, both civil
and religious, after dune 8, 1910. Though
expected by some, it was not thought that we
would he granted such freedom so early.
However, Captain Stokes has the welfare of
the Seniors at heart, and ibis accounts for
his libei ality. And. now it gives us great
pleasure to pass these privileges down to the
succeeding class, and we sincerely hope that
they will he as (un) fortunate as we have

been.

Clemson is to he congratulated upon hav-
ing a commandant that can make such
stirring Sunday School addresses. In his

famous address. ■"The Value of the Sunday
School," the whole audience was moved to
tears (?) when the dearl\ beloved speaker

arose, lie. having been to Sunday School
once when small, was thoroughly familiar
with the subject and gave some excellent ad-
vice concerning the advisability of nol break-
ing confinements. We predict that he will
be the next Superintendent of the Sunday
School.

SENIORS' CREED

We believe in Walter Merritt Riggs, ruler
of Clemson College, and i\ Commandant
Captain Marcus B. Storks. We believe that

WE WERE BORN IN SOUTH CAROLINA, DECEIVED

i.\ coming to Clemson College, suffered

UNDER JOSIAH C. MlNUS, WERE TRIED, CONVIC-
TED, AND PART OF US SHIPPED: WERE DISTRIB-
UTED over South Carolina; were re-instated
in September, ascended into the Junior Class,
and obeyed Captain Minis, the omnipotent
one: from thence we SHALL graduate in
Junk, 1910.

We believe in the serving of confinements,
the walking of extras, the punishment of
Seniors, the non-granting of permits, the
denial of privileges, \n1) life everlasting

IN THE l:\Iili U'KS.

AMEN and AMEN.

8 \. m. Arose. Scarcely had time to get to my office in time to give the

retiring ( ). I), thunder, and the new < >. D. a good lecture.
Gee whiz! raining some.
8:30 \. m. Attended chapel service. Idiotic boys looked as it' they expected
me to say something.

9 \. m. First Sergeants and ( ). 1). hand in long delinquency.

10 \. \i. Looked over reports. Fifty-two men absent from reveille. D

I will soak them with twenty-five confinements.
1 1 a. m. Rested after so much work.
12 m. Drilled battalions. Rode horseback. Roys grumbling about

drilling in mud only knee deep.
1 p. m. Ate very heavy dinner.

'_' iv m. Smoked cigarettes for an hour. They kill trouble.

3 p. m. Had twenty cadets before me for violation of par graph ls(.>.

Must have explanations so I can get two reports on the rascal.-.

4 p. \i. Cadet E — sent in permit. Approved same, then put him under

arrest for taking advantage of it.

5 p. \i. Football team £oes on field two seconds before five. 1'ut them

all under arrest. Can't rush it over me.

223

(i i'. m. Saw that all cadets went to Mess hall, whether hungry or not.
It's a punishment.

7 p. m. Rest period for three hours.

10 p. m. Inspected barracks. Nine sentinels found asleep; two hundred

eighty-four rooms with cigarette stubs on floor; one hun-
dred seven rooms with hoys playing "set hack;" three
hundred thirty-six hoys visiting; and two studying. Good!
Good! got this corps under complete control.

11 P. m. .lust finished my delinquency for to-morrow. Oh! me-me-sleepv.

Bedtime.

Tuesday, September 14. 1909

2 a. m. Blame a squalling kid. No wonder 1 am bald headed.

."> \. M. Kid asleep at last. What's that fuss? Golly Moses! four of

those hoys, and each one with two of my choicest Plymouth
Hocks!

S a. m. No breakfast for me. Guess that dozen Turkish cigarettes must

have spoiled my appetite.

9 \. m. Spent two hours lecturing those boys for having cigarette stubs
on floor the night before. Boys must not smoke.

I I \. m. Same time devoted to telling those cadets my disgust for their
little five-cent games of "set back." Detestable habit.

1 r. \i. Rather late at dinner. Met a fascinating stranger. Having
learned his profession, I invited him around at 8 ]>• m.

:! p. m. Went to inspect store. Four "dopers" caught. Fifteen extras
will be more stimulaf ing.

I i'. M. Too much noise in halls of main building- waked me up. Two
( ). G.'s will be detailed to-morrow. Seniors can afford to
miss one day out of eight in order to keep things quiet so I
can sleep. Must have some sleep before night.

s p. m. Friend on time. Spent seven hours at my favorite game Cali-
fornia .lack. Slickest duck 1 ever cut a deck with. He won
two hundred dollars from me as fast as 1 could put them on
the board.

Wednesday, September 15, 1909

9 a. m. Late getting to office. Didn't feel as if I could endure to hear

that preacher repeat that prayer I have heard every morning
for the last two years. Everything gone wrong. Secretary
is late coming this morning. Here he is now. Know he
has hurried; for he has lost his hat in his haste.

10 \. m. Began looking over permits. Cadet B — wants to go home be-

cause his father's house was burned, and his mother died from
the shock. Positively will not approve permits for such
trivial incident.-.

1 1 \. m. Put officer of guard in hall under arrest for letting sections make
noise enough to interfere with my nap.

12 m. Met Seniors in chapel, (lave them to understand, that both offi-

cers and privates must be military. Impressed upon them
importance of having just that dignity of bearing that will
make under classmen recognize them even if they only walk
across the campus.

1 p. m. Didn't care for any dinner to-day. Generally smoke cigarettes
when 1 have to buy my cigars.

'_' i'. m. Spent three hours making out punishment list for the week.
Officers getting too slack. Ten men in corps have neither
confinements nor extras. I will fix them before this is
published.

."> i'. M. Dress Parade. Hand out. Hoys don't seem to enjoy it. Oh,
well! I'll make them drill twice every day till they do like it.

(i p. m. Hard day's work. Will get agood rest and a refreshing cigarette

smoke before my friend of previous night arrives.

8 !'. M. friend on time; California .lack again. Results same as previous
night. Kicked the scoundrel out of my house.

12 m. Retired but couldn't sleep on account of losing my money.

I forgot about that letter I got from that old lady
concerning her son, that I dismissed for smoking. Can't
waste my time with such people when their sons are guilty
of such serious offences.

Thursday, September 16, 1909

9 a. m. Had to spend entire day talking with Seniors about their privi-
leges. Let me see what concessions 1 have made to them:
All Seniors may have all night lights, provided they go to
bed at "Taps." May have the exclusive privilege of visiting
each other at all times, when it is not called to quarters, pro-
vided more than three do not congregate in one room; will
not be required to drill only when whole corps does, but must
meet me in chapel on rainy days; will not be required to go

Clemson College, s. c.

January ',. 1909.
Mv Dearest A :

Fate for once has played me false. There will be no need for me to
apologize for not having written to yon yesterday, for, when you have read
this, I know yon will forgive me, as I have always forgiven you in the past.
Many times 1 have withstood the onrush of an entire eleven on the gridiron,
I have reported an entire eorp of cadets for applauding in the mess hall, and
I have even looked a commandant square in the eves and declared that drilling
is a pleasure; but never before last night have I had to stand on Mother
Earth in the darkest hours of the night and watch the rear of a coveted train
fade away in the distance. This train carried mv many friends hack to
college, but left me, poor me, out in the dreary stillness of the country, five
miles from the nearest point of civilization — Helton. S. C. There was nothing
to do, dear, but think of you — and — tell God all about it.

Perhaps, dear, yon ate in suspense to know how all this came about.
Upon my word of honor. I am a member of the Anti-Saloon League, and am a
total abstainer. 1 have no weak-minded ancestors, therefore, you can plainly
see that I was thinking only of a dimpled-cheeked little lass down on the
hanks of the Edisto. Yes, dear. 1 was thinking of you ami only of you. I
had written you a card that just had to he mailed on the First train that
traveled in your direction. Soon my train pulled into a siding to allow a
southbound train to pass. With one leap. I was on the platform, and the
next instant I was rushing towards the mail car of the slowly passing train.
The card was thrown to the mail clerk, who was standing between the open
doors. With fond and alert eyes, I watched to see the mail man catch this
loving epistle. Lo and behold, lie missed it. and through the door on the
other side it went. This card just had to he mailed, and. with all the speed
at my command. 1 passed 0VCT the platform of the slowly-moving train to
regain this valuable card. The card was found as quickly as possible, and then
another race ensued. On and on the train and 1 matched our speeds against
each other. I gained little by little, until finally the door of the mail car was
reached again. With eagerness and loving thoughts of you. I reached up to
place the card in the mail clerks* hands. The door was closed. Oh. my! wdiat
disappointment. Then the thoughl of my train came to me. and I stalled
hack again to my college friends. Op the track, about a quarter of a mile.
my train was speeding towards Clemson, and here I stood, card in hand.
thinking of you and — telling God all about it.

1 thought of the past, the present, and the future: hut none of this
thinking helped me to reach Clemson. I yelled, I whistled. I sang, 1
almost wept. Far off in the distance there flickered a dim light through the
cracks of a log cabin. All the energy there was left in me I exerted in going
towards this small sign of civilization. After much calling and a small
scrap with the yard dog, in which encounter my pants were torn — near
Belton, S. ('.. — a negro came to the door and 1 told him of mv terrible
predicament. lie informed me that the only traveling animal he possessed

■2X\

was an ox thai would not return to the house till daybreak. He offered cue a

c fortable bed on a pile of straw, and then called his van! i\<<^ in. realizing

thai we were no longer, enemies. At daybreak the ox arrived, and sunn 1
was being carried to the nearest railroad station. It was a long and tiresome
journey. I had to spend quite awhile in this great town of Belton waiting
for my train, and everybody looked inquiringly at the result of my scrap
with the dog. At last I am hark at Clemson.

Dear, won't you forgive me this tunc I'm- writing one day late?

your loving one,

ii.X.W A. "BEEF."

Zfo Ifyomt Coming of "Eetr

FULL dress evening suit is no1 exchanged for the regulation
uniform by a Clemson cadet just fur fun. so, when Mr. \Y. A.
Barnette appeared attired in his black broadcloth and high-heeled
shoes, every cadel gazed at him in wonder and astonishment.
"Well, he is a sport," was the general barracks' comment as the above named
youngster strode haughtily towards .Mr. Clink's livery stable. "Hitch up
the best horse in the stable for inc." In- commanded the stableman with over-
captainish authority. "Vas. sah." said Brock, smiling broadly, and glancing
at those shiny shoes from the corner of his eye. Finally the turnout was ready
and "Bed" drove away, after dropping a nickel into Brock's expectant palm,
while the latter muttered to himself: "Dis lip sho' ain't kommenserrate wid
de importans of his looks."

As the curtain rises upon the next scene, all conjectures are casl aside, for
here we see the spotlessly attired young man calmly reposing in a comfortable
arm-chair before a cheerful country lire. Bui this was nut all. By his side
sat a beautiful brunette of about eighteen summers. Together they chatted
merrily, merrily, utterly oblivious id' the rapidity of which time was flying.
The old clock pointed in the midnight hour. The lire burned low ; the two
moved closer to — . Comfort and happiness reigned supreme in the eoz^ room.

However, on the outside, stood "Red's" faithful horse, chilled through by
the cold midnight wintr\ Mast-. He -tamped great holes in the frozen earth,
hut still his huge frame shivered. He neighed once; he neighed twice.
"Red" heard and understood, hut seemed chained to the spot by the en-
trancing beauty of the maiden. Another neigh, followed quickly by a sharp
"crack." could not fail to arouse the enchanted youngster to the situation.
He sprang to the window in time to see the rapidly retreating animal pass
out of sight, down the bright, moonshiny lane.

"Farewell!" the horse seemed to -a\ to "Red." "farewell!" said "Red,"
half-way down the steps, to the astonished young lady. The race was on.
The horse had a lead of one hundred yards, hut was encumbered with the
buggy. Along flev horse and man. with the latter gradually gaining. Broad-
cloth was made to do the work of a track -nil: patent leathers were put to
the crucial test. Over hill and dak1, through mud and mire, they raced. Hut.
when "Red" was most certain of winning, the cushion fell out id' the buggy
at his feet. With unchecked speed, he shouldered tin- extra burden without
a sigh — still hoping. The heavy breathing of the runner- could he heard.
\'o wonder! three miles, eight minutes and three seconds. The stable was
reached. 'I'he race was a tie. (Sleepily, Brocli came forth, hut put on his
usual smile, when Mr. Barnette dropped a Five-dollar bill into hi- hand and
said : "Keep this to yourself."

On his way to barracks, .Mr. Barnette hummed:

"Woe worth the night; woe worth the chase,
When a il fool horse sets the pace."

May 13, 1923. As I had a few hours away from my business, I though!
that I couldn't spend them more profitably or pleasantly than by visiting my
Alma Mater. I had my aeroplane brought around and in about thirty minutes
I had arrived at my destination, for it was only several hundred miles from
home. After visiting all places of interest, I inquired of the president if
he knew where 1 could find any information of the whereabouts of the Alumni.
lie told me that no official record was kept, but referred me to the Pro-
fessor of History, who kept all clippings of interest. Below are the clippings
as taken from his scrapbools :

Spartanburg Bugle: \)\*. Allen and In.max are now on their Southern
toui', lecturing at the differenl universities.

Barnwell Post: A gieat discovery has been made by Mr. .1. M. Buckner,
of this city. Hi- mine of Bucknernite is proving quite a success under the
skillful management of .Mr. I.. L La.Ro.ohe, mining expert.

Abbeville Center: The City of Abbeville has had the brightesl period in
its history under the efficieni management of R. E. Nickles, Mayor; A. Mi -
David, city engineer, and I). ('. r>i;rrr. electrical engineer. But aside from
the municipal management, the residence section has been greatly beautified
by Mi. .1. L. Hi i.i.. Jr., the realty man. "Easy way to get a home."

Blackville Ripples: Mr. and Mrs. Banley and the little Baxleys gave
us a very pleasant call yesterday. We are pleased to complimenl Mr. Baxley
on t he line dairy which he has.

famous, hut the Evans fountain pen. the thing that made the whole world
famous, is now on sale by Thornhill and Gandy, the leading stationers of

this city.

Easley Dots: 'The marriage of Mr. V. II. Biggins to Miss I'm Peach
was solemnized by Rev. \V. A. Robinson.

Chester Blossoms: Mr. A. A. McKeown has returned from the State

Professor W. A. Barnette, Professor of Animal Husbandry at Clemson, was
one of the judges at the fair.

Anderson Astonisher: Mr. W'kbb. the great trombone artist, uses War-
ner's vegetable oil on his trombone. Moral, "Use Warner's oil for everything."

Savannah Taller: Jusl received a new line of second-hand clothes; going
at prices from $1.98 to $-1.39; call and inspect my line. \V. E. Shylock.

Washington Slinger: Mr. S. (). Pegues, Secretary of War. is using his
influence to have guardmount abolished from the army.

Lnl/n Index: The beautiful country home of Mr. II. F. Bethea was
bough! by Mr. II. I.. Reeves. Mr. Bethea intends to travel.

Shelton Advance: .lust received fifteen new airships, made in the factory
nf EaSTERLING, Ku.i.ky and WHITE. These machines were all made with
the Coleman lathe and have the Ryan patented steering near and the Town-
send electric stove fiii' the gas generator. Anyone desiring information will
call mi ( lLAYTON ami REID.

Architectural Record: The new barracks at Clemson has I n greatly

improved l>\ Mr. L. ('. Boone, who has changed the expensive wooden columns
to ones of reinforced conci etc.

Green Room Notes: The following actors will he in New York this week
at the differenl theatres: Baker, Trott and Twiggs; also a complete change
of specialties each night.

Police Gazettt : This issue is rather small on account of the absence of
the sporting editor. Mi-. Clinksi \i.i :s.

Ad. from Poultry Notes: Green talking Parrots for sale by Shuler Bros.

London News: The record for the hundred-yard dash was smashed by
Prof. \". E. Byrd.

Rock Hill Pusher: We had calls to-day from the following prosperous
farmers, Carothers, Ridgill, Pyatt and Simpson. Mr. Sims, the city
electi ician, notified us to-day that he has two electrical experts. Sullivan
and Stephenson, to make Fpecifications for the new electric railway, of

which M r. W"i LIE is president.

State: Mr. Tarbox won first prize on hi- onions at the State Fair, and we
are glad to note that Mr. Marshall and Mr. BENDERSON, two other promi-
nent men. also won pi izt's on their stock. Mr. G. A. BURTON, legislator, has
entered a hill in the Houee to have the price of Cocoa-Cola reduced.

This being all of the clippings that had been collected by our professor,
it was impossible tor me to find anything about the rest of the members of
the Class of '10, hut we feci sure that they have all hitched their wagons to
,i star and are now di i\ ing ahead.

RIGHTLY ROOFED BUILDINGS

Last indefinitely, and make the most desirable roofing
for the CHURCH. SCHOOL or HOME. Every square
foot of roof covered with Cortright Metal Shingles is leak-
proof. Furthermore, it stays that way just as long as
the building lasts. Rain has no effect whatever on it.
Neither lias extreme heat nor cold, lightning, frost, hail
any of the elements in fad It is the one roofing that
resists them all, every time, in any place. Better select a
proven roofing that is not an experiment. CORTRIGHT
ROOFING has been proven a success by more than twenty
years i if hard wear.
